After its first year of activities, the GIP became one of the reference points in global digital policy. A growing demand for information, knowledge and dialogue on global digital policy issues was reflected in the numerous events and briefings that the GIP organised in 2015. The event, ‘Geneva Internet Platform: one year of operations and outlook‘, which took place in March in Bern, gathered initial partners from the formation stage of the GIP and new partners interested in economic, policy, security, social, and development aspects of digital developments.Â
